WASHINGTON.
A Positive Revolution Taking Place.

The use of stimulants and narcotics to
suppress the irritation and exhaustion of fast
living and overwork, has been destroying the
muscular and intellectual vigor of the Amer
lean people, and more especially that most
brainy, energetic class that are most capable
of getting the wherewith to indulge in such
habits So rapidly have these habits In
creased within the past twenty years, and so
largely have this class incr eased in numbers,
the old prohibitory temperance principles are
voted out of sight at every election. With
all this, increase of insanity and lessening
of the average of human life have kept an
average pace. When it seemed almost hope
less for the church and moral associations to
try and stem the tide further, az eminent
physician hit on new beverage to take the
place of the stimulant, that gives better sat
isfaction TO the drinker, does not stimulate
or cause reaction, takes away the liquor
appetite, feeds the nerves into a prodigIous
strength and endurance, removes nervous
ness from women, never looses its effect
more than any other food; it is harmless as
milk, and is favored into the most luscious
drink on the market. The women swarm
after it, and it is reforming more drunkards
than all other influences. IL contains no
alcohol, medicine or poison, is running the
whole country into perfect craze, and is
preached by the clergy; and prayed for by
the drunkard's wife. The sale is enormous.
They call it Moxle Nerve Food. 1t has not
come any too soon. All the druggists sell it.

A Hard Profession.


Old DR.. johnson once said addressing q
class of medical students that the study of
medicine was a most arduous undertaking;
that the most comprehensive mind and the
most Industrious student could scarcely do
more than explore the portals to medical
knowledge during the brief time allotted to
study before commencing practice, but that
throughout his whole life the responsibilities
of his profession should rest upon him like a
night mare.
ae should explore every avenue of natural
knowledge, must become familiar with chem
istry, natural philosophy au natural history,
but, above ALL he must learn the construction
of his own frame. the means bv which he
lives. moves and has his being He must
understand the nature of all those influences
by which health is broken down and restored
and by what means disease, suffering and
death may be averted. DR. johnson further
says that nothing contributes so much TO the
support of quackery as the present INSULT
cheney of medical knowledge. Men do moi,
he says, easily abandon hope but as readily
put faith in ignorant pretenders as drowning
men catch at straws.
THE good that men do in this life lives
after them" During the life time of old DR..
Johnson he invented what is now known a,
DR.. Johnson's Anodyne Liniment, a standard
family remedy of surprising
merit. This liniment is both for in
ternal and external use and it is safe to say
that no single remedy ever discovered has
done so much good as this one. 1t is mex
pensive, ready at moments notice night or
day and may be used with absolute confidence
in the Thousand and one all ments that affi ct
humanity. In the cure of severe cramps or
pains in the stomach or bowels, dysentery,
Giarrh94, acute or chronic, this liniment is a
sovereign remedy. In the case of chronic
diarrhGi it is certainly worth its weight in
gold. 1t has been known to cure cases from
ten to fifteen years standing after the suffer
ers had been given up.

Politics Defeating Justice.

Political influence is now recognized as
one of the most poweIfu agents for ter
minating many questions which do no'
belong to the province of government. In
the management of municipal affairs there
has been constant enlarging OF its plain
of action. Throughout the country the
choice of town and city school Off GERS is
made with reference to political complex
ion and even the appointment of teachers
is made sometimes more from political
than educational qualifications. Business
transactions are very often confined by
such preferences and even society is divid-
ed upon this very difference. That educa-
tional, social and business matters should
not be subjected to such influence is most
apparent. Each is in such conditions
more or less adversely affected. In towns
where the schools are run by politics there
have been unmstakable evidences OF a
lowering of the standard OF the grade,
and general inefficiency. When society
has been divided by this wedge there have
always resulted quarrels and feuds which
have had most damaging effect upon
the morals of citizens. Business con-
Quoted upon the narrow lines
of party prejudice has always resulted
disastrouslv. 1t is evil enough that pol
itics should be allowed to penetrate thus
far into the relations of men but when it
enters the jury box and disregardiug all
evidence defeats justice, then it is time
that there was called halt and its power
full influence was prohibited from passing
the limits OF the bar. The recent dis.
agreement of the jury in the trial of the
election conspirators at Indianapolis fur
nishes a most conspicuous example of
politics defeating justice. With the guilt
of the conspirators established by positive
evidence and as it were. made impregna-
Bile TO doubt, by the confession of one OF
the number, the jury composed of eight
democrats and four republicans, brought
under the spell OF political influence,
were unable to agree" and thus failed to
Justly punish the democratic conspirators.
This is not the only instance. Even the
grand jury before whom these men were
first brought tailed to find an indictment
because of political division. Were

Lord Salisbury recently acknowledged
that free trade was condemned by all
civilized nations except Great Britain.
Such an admission by so distinguished a
resident of that country, (which has al
ways prospered under the only correct
tariff system," must be crusher to the
free traders of this country; it must be
humiliaing to the disciples of Golden who
have labored 80 hard to place the tariff OF
the United States upon England's basis,to
hear such an opinion and especially at this
time. To still advocate free trade against
the consensus of opinion OF all other civil
lied nations and after this remarkable con-
iession must require OF the democrats and
mugwumps considerable nerve.
1t is said that misfortunes never come
single and this seems to be the case with
the Mormon church. which having lost
its President, is now threatened with the
loss of its property. Apetition was filed
in the federal court at Salt Lake City Sat
uriay looking to the suppression OF the
Mormon church. The United States is
prayed to dsncorporate the said church
and wind up its business. The petition
alleges that the property is valued at
81, 900 900, s.. 100000 in real estate and
81 900 600 in personal property. 1t SEES
forth the law of Congress prohibiting any
church from owning more than $4,000
of property and the sections of the Ed
munds Tucker law of 1887 providing tor
the dsncorporation of the church OF
Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints by pro-
ceedinps as here Instituted and escheating
its property to the United States for the
benefit of the common school funds of
this territory. The petition asks the APP
pointment of a receiver and that all books ,
papers, etc, belonging to the church be
turned over to him. together with all
deeds. notes and property of every
description. The Court set September ID
for hearing OF the petition and ordered
subpoena issued to all parties interested to
appear on that day and show cause why
the prayer of the petition should not be
granted.

There is still too. much effort to
keep alive sectional hatred in this
grand country of ours. There are
men and politicians who seem 10
regard it treasOneble for our South
ern States TO honor those who were
their leaders during the war, either
living Or,dead. But our friends OF
the South wonld not be men il they
did not esteem their old leaders.
The war Is long since past both
sides believed they were right in
that conflict; the South was con
yinced of its errOrby force of arms,
and history does not record am ia
stance in which a conquered peO
pie have more cIeertnlIy accepted
the arbitrament OF war. To day the
United States has really no North,
no South, no East, no West, SO Ia
timate is the relationship existing
between the industry, commerce
and agriculture of the various sec
tiOns. Let us keep our faces to the
front and unitedly work together to
fulfill the destiny which lies before
the American citizenship. Let us
be good citizens rather than bad
politicians. These remarks are in
spired not so much By recent politi.
